ECETI Ranch & Black Ops Government

I blogged recently about James Gilliland and his extraordinary connection to UFO sightings over the ECETI Ranch near Mount Adams, Washington. I feel very comfortable listening to people who are humble and spiritual talking about these subjects and James is exactly that. He did talk about government harassment in those videos I posted including chemical spraying, bullets and black helicopters with equipment that seems to disrupt human energies for want of a better explanation.

I've just learned that the legal harassment is becoming intolerable and expensive and that this may force ECETI Ranch to close. This is a shame and unreasonable in light of official statements that there's no substance to the claims being made by the ranch. If there's nothing there, why the pressure to close them down? Why the persecution?

You can listen to William Henry's latest interview with James Gilliand over at Unknown Country.

Benevolent UFOs Over Japan?

I've been keeping an eye on this story for a few weeks but the sheer volume of video content with odd shapes flying into the picture is way beyond the capacity of a people who have just been decimated by an earth shock, tsunami and radiation contamination. People have got better things to do than make Youtube clips so it's worth digging around for yourself and making your own mind up.

Ian Taylor

I first met Ian in Phnom Penh about 10 years ago when I was probably one of only two Western Planners in Thailand. He was just about to move to Bangkok to do the same job so we had something in common from the get go. Ian was quickly cynical about the advertising proposition process (long before it became fashionable to diss propositions) so he wrote a bit of code that produced an auto proposition  generator. I found it hilarious (and unnervingly accurate given the politics that goes into that process).

Since then we've both moved on from the high octane world of consumer materialism. Aside from being a truly gifted photographer, Ian is the single most interesting Asia adventurer and traveller I know. He just got back from a resumed Kayak trip down the coast of Burma and Thailand as the first attempt had to be cut off due to some exotic tropical illness he picked up. Probably from eating wild roots and strange sea marsupials or something.

Last time we hooked up for a chat Ian had me gagging at the bit to fly to Calcutta with tales of poets and Marxist philosophers trying to hold onto some sort of anti materialist ideology in the face of rampant consumerism and erm not much money. I'd fit in there wouldn't I?

Ian's now pinging between Hong Kong and Bangkok a bit more. All of his photography makes me envious but if there's one thing Ian nails better than anyone it's his kids shots. Go check his work out over here if you want a guy to squeeze a great photo out.
